<br />
ITHACA<br />
As you set out for Ithaca<br />
hope that your journey is a long one,<br />
full of adventure, full of discovery.<br />
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,<br />
angry Poseidon-don't be afraid of them:<br />
you'll never find things like that on your way<br />
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,<br />
as long as a rare sensasion<br />
touches your spirit and your body.<br />
Laistrygonians and Cyclops,<br />
wild Poseidon-you won't encounter them<br />
unless you bring them along inside your soul,<br />
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.<br />
<br />
Hope that your journey is a long one.<br />
May there be many summer mornings when,<br />
with what pleasure, what joy,<br />
you come into harbors you're seeing for the first time;<br />
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations<br />
to buy fine things,<br />
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,<br />
sensual perfume of every kind-<br />
as many sensual perfumes as you can;<br />
and may you visit many Egyptian cities<br />
to learn and learn again from those who know.<br />
<br />
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.<br />
Arriving there is what you're destined for.<br />
But don't hurry the journey at all.<br />
Better if it lasts for years,<br />
so that you're old by the time you reach the island,<br />
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,<br />
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.<br />
Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.<br />
Without her you would have not set out.<br />
She has nothing left to give you now.<br />
<br />
And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have fooled you.<br />
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,<br />
you'll have understood by then what these Ithacas mean.
